Well, I hit a problem.  It is visible in t7201-co.sh:

Suppose you have these files

new1	orig	new2
1	1	1
2	2	3
3	3	4
4	4	5
5	5	6
7	6	7
8	7	8
	8

In other words: if the "6" was removed in the first case, and the "2" in 
the second case, all of a sudden changes which were not really conflicting 
(if one side was unchanged, it is considered a resolvable "conflict") now 
_will_ conflict.

In the upcoming patch, I now restrict this merging of conflicts to 
non-resolvable conflicts only.

Will send it out shortly.

Ciao,
Dscho
